In Deep Thought
{...}/Eli/Gallahad/Zombie is the narrator of the comic and Hanna's detective partner. He is obviously a zombie and has been dead for at least ten years, though he estimates himself to have been in his 20s when he died. He has no memory of his life whatsoever, including his name, giving his charistmatic friend opportunities to come up with a new name for him. The only thing known for sure about Zombie's life is that he was murdered.
Character Biography[]
Not much is known about Zombie's "true" personality and history, as he has lost all memories of his life before death. He estimates that he had been dead for about 10 years when he met Hanna, and he spent much of this time travelling, though the city that the story takes place in is in fact the place he woke up in after his death, and one would assume it is also the place that he was killed.
Though he initially came to Hanna on a whim, the two have formed a fast bond, appearing exceptionally loyal to one another in every situation. Zombie follows Hanna around through all of his shenanigans and has proven himself an exceptionally adept right hand man, to the point where Hanna even muses that he could run the business himself and get into less trouble. It is unlikely to say the least that Zombie would even consider this however, due to his intense, almost familial bond to Hanna.
Other Information[]
